Chicago Bulls vs Los Angeles Clippers prediction
The Los Angeles Clippers have the ability to comfortably win this game, but they’ve been hit or miss these last couple of weeks and have failed to cover 7 of their last 10 games. Don’t look now, but the Bulls are putting together a nice week and are almost a .500 team. Also, this is a very early start for a west coast team, and it can be weird for players. The Clippers also have a questionable Harden, Leonard and PG13, so check the reports before locking in anything. Give me the Bulls and the points.
